You need to give more information before anyone could give a considered reply.
What diabetic Type are you, what meds do you take, is your blood glucose well controlled, do you finger prick test or do you have a Libre or similar.

It's more complicated, as it involves driving in circumstances that could be dangerous to other persons.

"Safety Critical Medicals must include the following:
• Blood Pressure
• Glucose
• Musculoskeletal Assessment (movement)
• Vision (Distance and Colour)
• Audiometry
• Lung Function
• General Health Questionnaire"

BG control is obviously a consideration.
The best person to ask is the doctor who will be doing the assessment.
And they vary considerably unfortunately.
